Description of Is God a Moral Monster?: Making Sense of the Old Testament God by Paul Copan

A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations?

I give Paul Copan a lot of credit for tackling such a difficult topic with integrity and respect. I only read the first half, because the topic was too uncomfortable for me, hence the two stars. But I hope the truth in this book will make it into the hands of someone who needs a good answer to that question. God is good.
